Upgraded APIs: Flink (0.8) and HBase (0.98.x) + profiles

I had to create an hadoop.core.version variable to manage the fact that cloudera has different versions for hadoop-core and hadoop-common..
Unfortunately cloudera hbase 0.98.1-cdh5.1.3 requires hadoop-commons 2.3.0-cdh5.1.3  which requires hadoop-core 2.3.0-mr1-cdh5.1.3. Without specifying this profile for cloudera it is not possible to manage properly this dependency.
I don't know why Cloudera did this...
